Manson and Spector: Jailhouse rock?

CHARLES MANSON’S OVERTURE TO PHIL SPECTOR

CHARLES Manson – a third-rate musician before he turned homicidal cult leader – still has twisted delusions about becoming a pop star and wants to consult with fellow jailbird Phil Spector.

Rachelle Spector says her legendary music-producer hubby, now serving 19 years to life for the fatal shooting of actress Lara Clarkson, was recently transferred to Corcoran State Prison in central California, where Manson – who masterminded the savage Tate/LaBianca killings 40 years ago – is housed in a separate wing.

Soon after he settled in, “a guard brought Philip a note from Manson, who said he wanted him to come over to his [lockup]. He said he considers Philip the greatest producer who ever lived,” Rachelle told Page Six. “It was creepy. Philip didn’t respond.” </em>

Dang. That woulda been something.
